Stock Farm Wedding and Events Barn Review: A Rustic Gem in Cheshire’s Countryside

Stock Farm Wedding and Events Barn, Cheshire

If you’re looking for a relaxed yet stylish barn venue tucked away in the rural heart of Cheshire, Stock Farm Wedding and Events Barn in Ashley could be your perfect match. With its twinkling festoon lighting, acres of lush countryside, exclusive on-site accommodation, and flexible ceremony options, this venue has become one of the most popular and picturesque wedding settings in the region.

A Venue That Combines Countryside Charm with Modern Comforts

Stock Farm Barn is the very definition of rustic luxury. Set among miles of privately owned farmland, this beautifully converted 18th-century barn delivers a warm, welcoming feel from the moment you arrive. The high ceilings, exposed timber, fairy lights and open-plan layout offer the perfect blend of barn-style authenticity with elegant, contemporary flair.

Whether you’re envisioning a cosy winter wedding or a light-filled summer celebration, Stock Farm can accommodate up to 200 guests for both the ceremony and reception. And if you’re dreaming of an outdoor “I do,” you’re in luck — there are licensed outdoor ceremony spaces, including a stunning al fresco area nestled under an apple tree in the garden.

Everything You Need in One Place

Stock Farm is an exclusive-use venue, so you won’t be sharing your big day with anyone else. You’ll have full access to the entire barn, stables bar, lawn, firepit, ceremony spaces, and overnight accommodation. With 13 bedrooms spread across two farmhouse properties (plus a honeymoon suite), up to 26 guests can stay on-site — ideal for close family or your bridal party.

There are even two separate preparation rooms — a beautifully styled “bridal glam room” complete with salon mirrors and refreshments, and a rustic, relaxed “groom’s room” for pre-wedding banter, photos and beers with the boys.

Wedding Team That Truly Cares

What couples consistently rave about in their reviews is the amazing team at Stock Farm. Wedding managers like Rachel, Harriet, and Steph go above and beyond from the very first enquiry through to the last dance. They’re known for making couples feel instantly at ease, helping to re-plan weddings under pressure, and running the day like clockwork.

Here’s what one couple had to say:

“Rachel, Harriet and Leila worked so hard to ensure our day was perfect, and it was — it was magical!”

Ideal for DJs and Entertainment Setups

From a DJ’s point of view, Stock Farm is well-equipped and entertainment-friendly. The barn offers plenty of space for full lighting and sound setups, with no built-in sound limiter — which is great news for those planning high-energy evening parties or alternative weddings with a live band or club-style set.

There’s easy access for equipment load-in and a dedicated area to set up without being crammed into a corner. Power provision is solid, and festoon lighting already sets the mood, helping DJs create a seamless visual experience.

The firepit and outdoor lawn also offer guests a chill-out space during the evening, while the main barn keeps the dancefloor lively and energetic — an ideal balance for weddings where guests range from party animals to relaxed loungers.

As a DJ myself, I love playing at venues like Stock Farm. You can go all-out with lighting design, and because there’s no restrictive noise monitoring or awkward access routes, it’s a smooth experience from setup to final track.

Real Couples Say It Best

Couples consistently praise Stock Farm for its flexibility, attention to detail, and the relaxed-yet-professional service they received. Here are just a few standout comments:

• “We instantly fell in love with the venue. The team on the day were just perfect!” – Jenny & Tom

• “The whole day went smoothly and to plan, and we didn’t need to worry about a thing!” – Jess & Duncan

• “I would highly recommend Stock Farm. The staff couldn’t do enough for us.” – Emma

The venue has even hosted celebrity weddings, including Sam Aston from Coronation Street — and it’s easy to see why high-profile couples would choose it.
